Gestational Diabetes🫶🏻
This is incredibly niche but this is something I wish I had seen when I had gestational diabetes❤️ I was diagnosed at 13 weeks with my second baby and was on insulin by 16 weeks so when I say I had a long time to experiment with my sugars and try a bunch of different stuff, I had a long time 😂
